This document discusses cell division through the processes of mitosis and meiosis. It explains that mitosis occurs in regular body cells to keep cells living and growing, involving the phases of interphase, prophase, metaphase, anaphase, telophase, and cytokinesis. Meiosis occurs in gamete cells and involves a double division to reduce the chromosomal count, ensuring genetic diversity is maintained between generations while genetic integrity is preserved. Cell division, through both mitosis and meiosis, is essential for the growth, development, and reproduction of all living things.
12. 3. The chromosomes
become visible
4. The spindle
apparatus forms
and attaches to
the centromeres
of the
chromosomes
13. Metaphase
The Second Phase
of Mitosis
4.The Nuclear
Membrane is
completely gone
2. The duplicated
chromosomes line
up along the cell's
equator.
15. Anaphase
The third phase of
Mitosis
Diploid sets of daughter
chromosomes separate
They are pushed and
pulled toward opposite
poles of the cell by the
spindle fibers
19. Cytokinesis – The final stage of Mitosis
The cytoplasm, organelles, and nuclear
material are evenly split and two new
cells are formed.
Cell Plate
20. The two new cells – each exactly like the
other – are called Daughter Cells
21. Interphase – The Cell spends the majority of
its life here, growing and functioning. During
the S Phase of the Cell Cycle, the DNA
replicates, in anticipation of Mitosis
22. In Early Prophase of Mitosis the Chromosomes
get small, centrioles move to the poles of the
nucleus, and spindle fibers develop

23. Late Prophase happens when the
Nuclear Envelope disintegrates and
spindle fibers begin to move
Chromosomes toward the center of cell.

24. During Metaphase the Chromosomes line
up across center of the cell, also called the
equator, or Metaphase plate.

25. In Anaphase the Chromatids that make up each
Chromosome move apart and travel to opposite
ends of cellular spindle

26. In Telophase an envelope surrounds each set of
Chromatids to form new Nucleus and the
Cytoplasm starts to divide

27. Cytokinesis takes place when the Cytoplasm
divides and two cells with identical genetic
material are formed

30. Why Do Cells Divide?
The larger a cell
becomes, the more
demands the cell
places on it's DNA.
31. The bigger
the cell gets
the harder it
becomes to
move food
and waste
across the
membrane
Food goes in
Waste goes out
32. So, once cells
reach a certain
size they must
divide in order to
continue to
function – or they
will no longer be
able to take in
nutrients and
eliminate waste.
33. Why Is Cell Division Important?
1. All Living Things are made of Cells
34. 2. The Cell is the basic unit of Structure and
Function in Living Things.
36. You are a living
organism, made of
cells.
In order to keep
living, your cells
must stay alive.
In order for cells to
keep living, they
must divide and
multiply
38. Meiosis
Takes place in the Gametes of an organism
People have a Chromosome count of 46
When an egg joins a sperm the count must stay at 46
to remain human
So, the egg can only have 23 chromosomes, and the
sperm can only have 23 chromosomes
But, the integrity of the organism must be maintained.
39. During Meiosis gamete (sex) cells undergo a
“double division”, maintaining the DNA, but
reducing the chromosomal count to 23
+ =
Sperm (23) + Egg (23) = Fertilized Cell (46)
41. At the end of Meiosis
the individual Gamete
cell has divided from
one cell to four.
Males produce 4
viable sperm.
Females produce 1
viable egg and 3 non
functioning polar
bodies.
the division of a cell into two daughter cells with the same genetic material
Cells need to divide for your body to grow and for body tissue such as skin to continuously renew itself . And make new self
The cell cycle allows multiicellular organisms to grow and divide and single-celled organisms to reproduce.
Mitosis occurs in nearly every cell in the human body. It is essential for our body's growth, development and repair.
Mitosis helps organisms grow in size and repair damaged tissue.
it is the stage during which all the preparation for cell division takes place. between 18 and 20 hours.
Chromatin refers to a mixture of DNA and proteins that form the chromosomes found in the cells of humans and other higher organisms.
The cell double checks the duplicated chromosome for some errors, making any needed repairs
a cell duplicates all of its contents, including its chromosomes, and splits to form two identical daughter cells.
Nuleolus- area inside the nucleus
chromosomes align along the equator of the cell, with one chromatid facing each pole
sister chromatids separate
spindle fibers attached to kinetochores shorten and pull chromatids towards the poles.
nuclear envelopes form around both groups of chromosomes
uclear envelope separates the contents of the nucleus from the cytoplasm and provides the structural framework of the nucleus.
he final stage of cell division in which the spindle disappears and the nucleus forms around each set of daughter chromosomes.
cytokinesis occurs, enclosing each daughter nucleus into a separate cell
Cell growth and repaired
the cell starts to break down some structures and build others up, setting the stage for division of the chromosomes.

The larger a cell gets, the more difficult it is for nutrients and gases to move in and out of the cell.
cells don't just appear out of thin air
Meiosis is a special type of cell division of germ cells in sexually-reproducing organisms that produces the gametes, such as sperm or egg cells.
